QHotels, the UK's largest golf resort operator, is inviting golf groups and societies to launch the new year in style after announcing a price freeze on selected 2016 stay-and-play packages when booked before the end of November.

Golf parties of 12 people or more can take advantage of amazing value and enjoy a 2016 golf break at 2015 prices when booking at any of QHotels' 11 golf resorts between now and November 30, with a variety of other attractive benefits also included in the promotion.

The likes of Mottram Hall, Belton Woods, Forest Pines and Slaley Hall are all included in the eye-catching offer, which is valid for new bookings only, with prices starting from just £79 per person for one night's dinner, bed and breakfast including two rounds of golf.

Two-night, three-round packages including dinner, bed and breakfast can be booked from £165 per person while discounts of up to 20 per cent discount are available on drinks for groups of any size.

QHotels is also giving golfers the chance to stay and play for free in 2016 as part of the offer, with one golfer in every 12 going free at Hellidon Lakes Golf and Spa Hotel, Telford Hotel & Golf Resort and The Westerwood Hotel & Golf Resort and one player in 16 receiving a complimentary stay at all other venues, while all groups staying in 2016 will also receive a £150 prize table.

The promotion is the latest in a series of attractive initiatives unveiled by QHotels – the AA Hotel Group of the Year – this year, led by the introduction of its hugely successful QFairway club this spring.

Hailed as the country's most flexible golf membership, the new scheme offers up to 50 rounds of golf for only £375 along with access to an impressive 15 golf courses.

The flexible points-based membership gives golfers all the benefits of a full club membership – including the facility to hold a handicap and playing rights for club competitions – while offering discount on food and drink, shop purchases, tuition, hotel bed-and-breakfast rates.

And players of all ages have been quick to give their backing to the enterprising initiative with 1,000-plus new members signing up since its launch, including hundreds of juniors.

The multi-award-winning, four and five-star QHotels collection offers championship-standard courses in unique resort locations.
